Abstract
In an arrangement for interconnecting two exhaust pipe sections of a motor vehicle exhaust system with a vibration dampening structure disposed between the two pipe sections, a first one of the pipe sections has a coupling member radially extending therefrom and the second pipe section has a coupling structure connected to the coupling member in a circumferentially elastic fashion so as to permit limited relative rotation between the two pipe sections.
